hola

i have returned, minus a left ovary, 6 lbs of benign tumor and 2 more incidental lbs.
quickest diet ever.

i'm doing fine, feel pretty good but am on a reduced-movement plan, where i watch hours of crappy television, drink tea and knit. thursday marks 2-weeks and when i can drive again! adam is coming for a visit friday-monday, so i am very much looking forward to seeing him after two months.

we're busy co-ordinating and planning - adam and i are leaving on the 26th for london, where we'll bum with various friends [who may or may not remain friends after we crash for un-socially acceptable lengths of time] and try to budget-live with our crappy crappy american dollars. the plan right now is to take off for gloriously cheap and beautiful sarajevo at the beginning of october and hopefully hopefully hopefully land tefl jobs.

i am outside, enjoying whatever technology lets me get the interwebs without a dsl hook-up or wireless; watching the chickens roaming around, enjoying illicit cigarettes, trying to re-gain camp tan and enjoying this new little guy "macbook". i've made the switch!

in the crafty front, i've finished (6) log cabin blocks and have almost finished the leaf shawl! pictures to come. in the style front, i've been wearing the same three shift dresses for the past (9) days. blergh.

and if anyone asks about the scar, the story is it's from a tijuana bar fight.
